On the event “Smart Energy Forum” on 2011-10-25 in Hannover, Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. presented a home automation showcase, where this toy was specially equipped with a Freescale Zigbee RF interface .

8-bit CPUs have little “residual current” / “cut-off” due to its crude dice, while 32-bit CPUs have much more “residual current” / “cut-off” due to its little structures.

Experts acknowledge the work of “Silicon Labs” ( formerly: “Energy Micro” ) to create 32-bit ARM CPUs with litte “residual current” / “cut-off”, little in comparison to the standard with 32-bit CPUs and especially ARM CPUs. Some new ARM CPU derivates of STMicroelectronics ( i.e. STML053R8T6, based on Cortex M0+ ) are also known to fulfill that criteria.

32-bit CPUs may be cheaper than 8-bit CPUs, as the chip manufacturer can produce more chips on the same space... due to the smaller structures of 32-bit chips and so the smaller dice size.
